...or at least, that's what I'm telling people these days. I've been wanting to get into better shape lately, and just yesterday the opportunity presented itself to run the St. Jude half-marathon in December. Of course, I've never intended in my life to run a marathon - or a half of one, as it were - but what it comes down to is that I want to know whether or not I can do it. So, with that, I have started my training, beginning yesterday with a 2.7 mile run/walk. There were times I didn't think I'd make it through, but I did, and despite the pain this morning, I'm encouraged.
I've also just finished reading Christine Caine's new book, Run to Win, which is all about finishing strong, with lots of great allusions to running a marathon. I think I may just read it again to let it sink in a little bit.
School starts in 2 weeks, and I'm pumped!! This is bound to be one of the most trying few months - starting grad school & training for a half-marathon - but I am excited! :)
You have such a cute blog! Best of luck in training for the marathon- Mundo's doing the same thing (he wants to run the full again this year). It's such an awesome accomplishment. Go for it, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are going to do the marathon! I think we have a good group determined to do it. We should get together and run sometime. Are you a night runner?
